Long long ago, to the north of river Ganga was

the great kingdom of Avadh. It was situated on the
banks of river Sarayu. The capital of Avadh was
Ayodhya which was built by Manu the famous king of
Solar Dinesty. The people of Avadh were very happy
and contended. The King Dasrath who was the son of
famous king Raghu ruled Ayodhya. He was well versed
in Vedas, pious and religious king and was a royal sage
as good as a Maharshi. He Protected Ayodhya as Indra
Protected his capital Amrawati. He was a superlative
carhero (Atirathi) of Ikswaku race, was devoted to
virtues and was given to the control of his senses. He
was far sighted and highly glorious and was loved by
his people.

The King Dasrath had three queens Kaushalya, Sumitra

and Kaikeyi. In the midst of all his prosperity, the king Dasharatha
had one regret, he had no child. Dasharatha then thought of
performing ‘Putra-Kamesthi’ Yajna. On Sage Vasistha's advice he
requested Sringi-Muni to perform Yajna. From the holy fire Agni
Deva came out and presented a bowl of ‘Payasam’ as the Prasad to
the king Dasharatha. The king distributed it among his three queens.
He divided the payasam into two halves and gave one half of it to
his eldest queen Kaushalya. He then divided the other half into two
equal parts and gave one part to the youngest queen Kaikeyi Jhen
he divided the other part into two halves and gave one each to
Kaushalya & Kaikeyi to be handed over by them to Sumitra his
second queen. Thus Kaushalya got half share of the Payasam and
Kaikeyi got one quarter share. Sumitra also got one quarter but in
two pieces of one eight each through Kaushalya & Sumitra. In due
course of time after completing the gestation period Kaushalya gave
birth to Ram and Kaikeyi to Bharat. Where as queen Sumitra gave
birth to Laxman and Shatrughna and in due course of time four sons
were born. Kaushalya gave birth to Rama, Sumitra to Lakshmana &
Shatrughna and Bharat was born to Kaikeyi.

The four princes grew up to be strong, virtuous,

brave and lovable. They loved each other very much.
Lakshmana was more attached to Rama. The king
Dasharatha spared no pains to give proper education to all his
sons. They were more trained in the Arts of Warfare. After
their training they returned to Ayodhya. When they got
enriched with wisdom, they were all adorned with virtues but
still they were modest, glorious, all knowing and far sighted.
They were also devoted to the services of their parents and
were well versed in the science of Archery with an arrow and
bow in the hands of each they appeared most charming. Their
beauty enraptured the whole creation both animate and
inanimate. Through which ever street the four brothers
passed in pursuit of their sport, all the men and women there
stood motionless on seeing them.

One day Sage Vishwamitra arrived at the court of

king Dasharatha and requested him to send Rama along with
him. He was performing a Yajna and the powerful Rakshasas
‘Mareecha’ and ‘Subaahu’ were disturbing him and
Vishwamitra needed Rama's help to destroy them. King
Dasharatha at first refused, but on Sage Vasistha’s advice he
agreed to send Rama and Lakshmana with Sage
Vishwamitra. Turning to the sage Viswamitra then he said,
“My Lord, the two boys are my very life. You are their only
father now, holy sir; there is no one to look after them except
you.” He then blessed Rama & Laxmana in many fold ways.
The princes then went to take blessing from their mothers.
The two heroes, lions among men, oceans of compassion,
resolute of purpose, and the ultimate cause of the whole
universe, gladly proceeded to rid the sage of his fear.

The two princes along with Sage Vishwamitra

made their way through the Dandaka forest. Rama had
reddish eyes, broad chest and long arms, his body was
having colour of blue lotus or tamala tree. With a
beautiful quiver fastened at his back with a yellow piece
of cloth wrapped around his waste. He held in his two
hands a lovely bow and arrow respectively. In the forest
lived Taadaka (wife of Sunda, a Yaksha) and her son
Mareecha who was the source of all troubles to the
Rishis. Determined to kill Taadaka Rama strung his bow
which enraged the demoness. She raced towards him.
Rama killed her by piercing the arrow through her chest,
but recognising her as deserving of compassion
bestowed his own state to her.

Then Sage Vishwamitra took Rama and

Lakshmana to his Ashrama and there began his yagna.
For six days and nights the princes kept a strong vigil.
On the sixth day they saw Mareecha and Subaahu. As
hey were prepared to disturb the Rishis, Rama shot the
Maanavaastra on Mareecha which hurled him the full
hundred Yajnas near the Sea. Rama killed Subaahu with
Aagneyaastra. The other Rakshasas who came along
with Subaahu and Mareecha were also utterly destroyed
by Lakshmana. Having killed the demons in this way
Rama rid the Brahmins of their fear. Devas and Rishis
offered praises to him.

After successfully completing the Yajna, Sage

Vishwamitra expressed his desire to take Rama and
Lakshmana to the kingdom of Videha. On their way they
saw an unattended but a very beautiful Aashram. Sage
Vishwamitra told them the story of ‘Ahilya’, wife of Sage
‘Gautama’ who was turned into a stone piece. Ahilya was
deceived by Indra and yielded to his unholy desires. Sage
Gautama was enraged with Indra and after cursing Indra
and prescribing a long penance for his erring wife, he
went to the Himalayas. When Rama set his foot on the
stone piece, the curse was lifted and Ahilya turned into a
lady of majestic beauty. She stood before him with folded
hands and then cleaved to his feet and tears streamed
from both her eyes. She praised Rama in many ways &
expressed her gratitude. Simultaneously, Sage Gautama
returned to the Aashram and received his repentant wife
back to his affection.

From Ahalyas Aashram Sage Vishwamitra took

the two princes Rama and Lakshmana to Janakpuri. King
Janaka felt very happy seeing the two princes and asked
Vishwamitra all about them. He had arranged a ‘Dhanusha
Yajna’ with a great bow of Lord Shiva, ‘AJ GAVA’. He had
taken a Vow that he would marry off his daughter to the
prince who could snap the bow. None of the kings present
could even lift the bow. On Sage Vishwamitra’s insistence
and permission, Rama lifted the bow effortlessly as if it
were a garland of flowers and strung it with such an
irresistible force that the mighty bow snapped. An awful
crash resounded through all the spheres on hearing
which the devas uttered shouts of victory. Rama tossed
on ground the two broken pieces of the bow, and every
one rejoiced the sight. The shouts of victory reechoed
through out the universe & even the crash that followed
the breaking of the bow was drawned in it. Every where
men & women in their joy kept saying that Rama has
broken the massive bow of lord Sambhu.

King Janaka was very happy. According to his

promise he arranged marriage of Sita with Rama. Messengers
were sent to Ayodhya for king Dasharatha's permission which
he gave heartily. Seeing the bravery valour and beauty of
Rama, Sita was also happy at her heart and took pride in the
fact that such a person will be her husband. But she became
overawed by the personality of Rama and was awstruck by the
height of the occassion. She became motionless and
speachless. One of her friends reminded her of the duty of
garlanding Rama. Sita tried to lift the Jaymala but due to
extremity of feelings she was unable to garland Rama. Her
hands lifting the Jaymala appeared as if they were stalks of
two lotus flowers carrying a heavy garland. Sita amassed
courage and garlanded shri Rama and the Jaymala shown on
the chest & neck of Rama like victory glorified. Rama married
Sita amidst much pomp and splendour in the presence of two
kings. Lakshmana, Bharat and Shatrughna were also married
at the same time on the same Lagna Mandapa. Lakshmana
was married to Urmila, Bharat with Mandavi and Shatrughna
with Shrutkirti.

At that time Sage Parashurama came to Janak’s

palace. When he saw Lord Shiva's bow snapped he was
angry and furious on the two princes, particularly on
Lakshmana, who behaved unwell. Rama tried to calm
down the great Sage in many ways. Seeing Rama's power
and behaviour the Sage was confused about Rama's real
identity as being the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He
offered to give his bow to Rama, which went itself to
Rama's hands. Seeing this magnificient act Rishi started
praying Rama and asked for his forgiveness as he could
not identify him earlier. All the kings and others present
felt a sigh of relief from the great terror being gone and
the Kshatriya race thus being saved, as sage Parashuram
withdrew to the woods after praising Rama & Lakshmana
in many-many ways, and Pleading guilty of not realising
the truth earlier and saying so many abusive words to
both the brothers.

Rama and Sita spent many happy years at Ayodhya. One day king Dasharatha seeing his face
in mirror realised that he was growing old. After consulting Guru Vashistha he made arrangements to
crown Rama as the next king. Every one at Ayodhya was very happy at this decision but Indra and all other
Devtas did not want Rama to be crowned because they were very much troubled by Ravana and other
mighty demons. They went to Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom and requested her to do something so
that the purpose, for which Rama had taken incarnation on the Earth, is fulfilled. On the repeated requests
of all the Devtas the Goddess Saraswati went to Ayodhya and made Manthara, evil minded. Manthara was a
maid-servant to queen Kaikeyi-.She made the queen believe that Rama's coronation would bring the never
ending miseries to her and her son Bharat. On Manthara's advice Kaikeyi took off all her jewelleries and
assumed a dishevelled look. King Dasharatha was so perplexed seeing his most beloved wife that he
promised to do everything to make her happy. Kaikeyi then asked for the two boons that were earlier
promised to her by king Dasharatha. Firstly, she wanted Bharat to be crowned as the king and secondly,
Rama to be sent to exile for 14 years. King Dasharatha became helpless due to his boons given long time
ago. He asked for mercy and agreed to crown Bharat but Rama not to be sent to exile. But the queen was
adamant for her desires.

Poor Dasharatha was in extreme agony pulled

by natural affection on one side and by moral
obligation to fulfil his promise on the other side. When
Rama came to know the cause of his father's distress
he decided to honour his father's pledge very happily.
He made himself ready for exile that very day.
Lakshmana insisted on accompanying him. Rama also
had to take Sita along with him although he tried very
hard to dissuade her by telling about the hardships and
dangers of a forest life. Sita could not be convinced as
she felt that it was her Dharma to follow her husband
everywhere. Thus three of them Rama, Sita and
Lakshmana set out for the life in exile.

On Dasharatha's orders Sumantra drove Ram, Sita and

Lakshmana away from Ayodhya in his chariot. They were followed by
masses who waited around and tried to prevent them from leaving.
Rama requested them to return to Ayodhya but they still continued to
follow them. At night the entire caravan stayed on the banks of river
Tamsa. Ram requested tie followers once again to return to Ayodhya.
But they did not paid any heeds and tried to stay with Ram where
ever he goes. Though Ram was impressed by their love and attention
for him, but he was sage not to take them with him. He was perturbed
on this account but he finally decided to leave them, while they were
sleeping. In the midst of night when the people were deep asleep
Ram asked Sumantra to drive them away from river Tamsa towards
deeper forests. So the people were left behind.

The chariot travelled for the whole day and they
arrived at Shringaverpur on the banks of river Ganga. When
Nishadraj Guha (the Chief of the Kevats) heard of their arrival,
he heartily welcomed them along with all his family, relatives
and people. After taking the rest for the night Rama requested
Guha to arrange for a best to cross the river. Guha summoned
the boat and it arrived before stepping on the boat, Guha
requested Rama to wash off his feat by his own hands on the
plea that by touching the dust on Ramas jeet his boat will turn
into a woman as happened when Ahilya who had become a
statue on Rishi Gontams nurse on being touched by Rama
feat had turned into a beautiful woman as earlier she was.
Rama understanding his desire smiled and allowed Guha to
wash his feet. Guha after getting permission brought on open
pot of water and started washing the feet of Rama. After
washing his feet he and his family drank the water in the pot
and with this Guha attained salvation. The three of them driven
in the boat by Guha reached prayagraj the confluence of river
Ganga and Yamuna.

After crossing the river. They all stood on the sand of the
bank of river Ganga. Guha touched Rama’s feet. Ram left hesitant to
give him something for his services. Sensing the feelings in Rama’s
heart sita removed one of his rings and offered it to Guha . But Guha
refused to take it. He said that he now does it want anything as he
already had got everything and his all the sorrows and miseries have
gone. He had toiled hard for past several year to earn his livelihood
but now he is an emancipated person. The only needs the love
affection, and blessings of shri Ram. Even after many requests from
both Rama & Sita Guha did not take anything hence Rama allowed
him to go after embracing him and saying some good word sand
granting him the boon of his blessings.
Set out on his jouney for the Dandaka Forest, with sita and
Laxmana at dusk, shri Rama reached the hermitage of sage
Bhardwaj in the vicinity of the confluence of river Ganga & Yamuna.
The sage advised them to go to Chitrakoot as that was the fittest
place for them to sojourn in Early next morning Rama left his
hermitage and proceeded towards chitrakoot.

Meanwhile, Sumantra, on Rama's insistence, returned to Ayodhya to find the sick and
anguished King Dasharatha waiting expectantly for the return of his sons. He was totally shattered when
he found Sumantra returning alone. Entering the Royal Gynaeceum. He reported to the king that Rama
Laxmana & Sita have departed to chitrakut. Hearing this king Dashratha felt into a swoon. He felt
perplexed in his mind and dropped unconscious to the ground, as he was tormented with the grief
caused by separation from Rama. Kaushlya tried to console him when he regained consciousness, and
pursued him not to give way to grief. Sumantra also tried very much to console him. Dasharatha
remembered the curse that was Inflicted upon him by Shrawan Kumar's blind saint father whose son he
had killed unknowingly. The blind saint had cursed him that he would also die from the separation of his
son. The curse proved to be true as King Dasharatha finally fell dead remembering and calling 'He-Ram,
He-Ram, He-Ram'. Since the king breathed his last with the thought of Rama foremost in his mid, his
soul got emancipated and attained nirvana.

When saint Vasistha was informed of the King's death he at once sent
messengers to Kekaya to bring back Bharat and Shatrughna who had gone there to
visit their maternal grand parents. Bharat was overwhelmed with grief and anger
when he came to know of Rama's exile and the cause of his father's death. He
rebuked his mother Kaikeyi and refused to accept the kingship. After performing the
last rites of the dead king he went to forest with Shatrughna, his all the three
mothers and army to crown Rama in the forest and bring them back, people of
Ayodhya followed him. Raja Janak also went to forest to persuade Rama. Seeing
Bharat coming with army Lakshmana was suspicious but on Rama's advice he kept
himself in control till Bharat made his request. Bharat tried in many ways but Rama
politely refused to go back and wished to fulfil his father's desires. Unable to
persuade Rama, as a last resort, Bharat brought Rama's Sandals as his
representative and set them on the throne. He abandoned all the luxuries of the
palace, put on the guises of a saint, lived in a cottage and with the help of Councils
of Ministers ruled the kingdom as his religious duty until Rama returned from the
exile.
 &% eqfu vxRL; ls feyu %&

Ten years passed quite happily. One day, Rama,

Lakshmana and Sita went to sage Agastya's Ashram to
pay him their regards. Sage asked them to stay at his
place which was peaceful and free of Raakshasa's
disturbance. Rama refused in his polite way as he had
taken incarnation to free the Earth from Devils and
Raakshasas and protect Rishis thus. The sage advised
Rama about Panchavati in Dandaka forest to make their
place for stay.
 &% iapoVh esa vkokl %&

Panchavati was a peaceful and beautiful spot on

the banks of river Godavari surrounded by hills. They
built there, their cottage of grass and leaves and started
spending time in worshipping, collecting flowers and

fruits, watering trees and talking of the past days.

 &% lwiZ.k[kk izlax %&

One day Surpanakha, Ravana's sister saw the

God like beauty of Rama and-felt an uncontrollable desire
for him. She had the magic power to assume any form as
per desire. Transforming herself to a beautiful lady she
approached Rama and expressed her love and her desire
to be his wife. Rama humourously turned her offer down
and advised her to approach Lakshmana. Lakshmana too
played upto the joke and sent her back to Rama, who
again refused her. Not getting her desire fulfilled she
showed her true form of Raakshashi. Seeing Sita afraid of
her, Rama looked towards Lakshmana who at once cut
off her nose and ears.
 &% ’kwiZ.k[kk dk jko.k ds ikl tkuk %&

Disgraced and multilated Surpanakha went to her

brothers Khar-Dooshan for taking revenge. Khar-
Dooshan at once went with their fourteen thousand army
and brother Trishira to attack Rama & Lakshmana. The
whole of army and the three brothers killed themselves in
a strange way by Rama's maya. Surpanakha at last went
to her brother Ravana, who promised to avenge her
disgrace and insult. Surpanakha knew that Ravana was a
lustful creature and so in order to inspire him she was
full of praises of Sita's sublime beauty.
 &% jko.k dk ekjhp ls fey iziap jpuk %&

Seeing Surpanakha's condition Ravana was

thoughtful. He was aware of the fact that none-else except
Lord Vishnu could kill his brothers who were mighty like
himself. He thought that if Lord Vishnu has taken
incarnation on this earth in the form of a man, he will take
enemity with Him and if killed his life will be successful and
he will go finally to Baikunthalok. If the persons who have
killed Khar-Dushan are ordinary man, he will kill them and
bring forcibly the sublime beauty, Sita. Accordingly, he
chalked out a plan and went to Mareecha's ashram to seek
his help in carrying out the plan. Listening to Ravana's plan
Mareecha was frightened because he had experienced
Rama's power earlier. He also realised that though Ravana
spoke of the honour of Raakshasas, the duty of kingship
and the insult of Surpanakha but he was really impelled by a
lustful desire to possess Sita. Mareecha tried to dissuade
Ravana, who however was far from being pleased or
convinced. At last Mareecha agreed thinking the surity of
death by the hands of Lord and thus going to his abode.
 &% lhrk rFkk diV e`x izlax %&

One day Rama told Sita that as he has to kill

many a raakshasas and the time has come to save the
Rishis and the Earth. He asked Sita to stay in fire till
he completes his mission. Sita at once entered in fire
and left her shadow only. Lakshmana was not there
when this happened. As planned by Ravana, Mareecha
transformed himself into a wonderful deer made of
gold having many a valuable stones on skin. Sita was
spell-bound seeing the wonderous beauty of the stag.
She requested Rama to get that wonderful stag for
her. Rama knew that Mareecha was in the form of
stag. He tried to convince Sita that no stag could be
made of gold and jewels but on her insistance he set
off to catch the beast, asking Lakshmana to stay there
and guard her. Rama went far into the forest chasing
the Deer and at last tired of the pursuit he sent-forth
an arrow which pierced the stag. Mareecha resumed
his original form and mimicking Rama's voice called
out to Lakshmana for help, before he died.

Ravana, who was waiting for the opportunity, transformed himself
into a saffron-clad sadhu and went to Sita begging for alms. He
praised for her beauty and refused to accept anything offered to
him form a distance. Not realising the consequences Sita crossed the
Lakshman-rekha to do her duty. Ravana then threw up his disguise.
Sita said many harsh words to Ravana and called him to be a rabbit
and compared Rama with a lion. Ravana was very annoyed on
listening to this, however within his heart he regarded her.

Ravana then forcibly carried Sita to his chariot and rose with her in the
sky. He was a bit afraid while doing so and hence was unable to drive the chariot
properly. Sita was repenting her mistake while sitting in the chariot and was bitterly
crying and remembering Rama and Lakshmana. Jataayu the king of vultures of that
area heard her crying and recognized her by her utterances. He got very much
annoyed at Ravana. He rushed immediately to rescue Sita. He cought hold of
Ravavnas hair and dragged him down the chariot. Ravana fell down. Jataayu took
Sita away and came back to fight with Ravana. He struk Ravana with his beak
several times and injured him so severely that Ravana got fainted. But Ravana
regained his consciousness very quickly and he pulled out a sharp sword from his
armoury to cut the wings of Jataayu. On chopping of his wings Jataayu fell down
on the earth deeply wounded and became helpless. Ravana dragged Sita back to his
chariot and hurried from there.

Meanwhile, Rama and Lakshmana realised

that they were deceived by the raakshasas. They
hurried back to the aashrama only to find it out
empty. They searched for Sita every where but could
not find her. While searching they found the dieing
Jataayu wounded by Raavana. Who told them the
hole story and fell dead. He immediately attained
salvation.

The two princes were torn with extreme grief but

tried to encourage one another. One day, while
passing through the forest they came face to face
with an ugly monster named Kabandha who had no
head and feet. His mouth was in his belley. Rama
and Lakshmana cut off his hands and threw his body
into the flames. Kabandha was actually a gandharva
who was cursed by rishi Durvasa as he was
tormenting brahmins and rishis. His curse was lifted
and he went to devine place by Rama’s blessing.

On their way, the two brothers arrived at the aashrama of the

old Sanyasini Sabri, disciple of rishi Matanga. She was waiting for Rama
since long time to have the darshan. The two brothers accepted her
hospitality although she was from a low cast. Rama ate the fruits offered
by her which she had collected for many days as she knew that Rama-
Lakshmana will come to her one day. Rama preached her the nine ways of
getting lord. On being asked about Sita she told them to go to banks of
river Pampa and meet Surgreeva there. Sabri made her life a success,
offered herself in yoga-agni and went to lord's abode thus.

Once lord Shiva wished to see his beloved lord Vishnu. When he came to
know that he is on the earth in the human incarnation of Rama, Lord Shiva went to
the forest with Ma Satiji where Rama with Lakshmana were searching for Sita with
tears in their eyes. On seeing his beloved lord Rama, Shiva was very much pleased
and bowed before him as a sign of admiration and love. On the way back Ma Satiji
asked her lord the reason of bowing before an ordinary man. Lord Shiva told her that
he was not an ordinary man but was lord Vishnu who had incarnated to finish the
devils on earth. Ma Satiji did not believe lord Shiva's words. Then lord told her to go
herself to Rama and examine the truth. Ma Sitiji turned herself in the form of Sita
and went before Rama. On seeing her, Rama bowed before her and asked
whereabouts of Lord Shiva. Ma Satiji was very much ashamed of her disguise and
came back to the lord Shiva who was seeing all the drama from a distance. When lord
Shiva asked Ma Satiji about the examination of Rama she did not reveal the truth and
kept secret about her disguiseness. Lord Shiva knew everything and abandoned Ma
Satiji from his heart that very moment because He was the form of the truth. Lord
Shiva had told earlier to Ma Satiji that the day she will not believe him, he will
abandon her. Ma Satiji also knew that her lord had known everything-and

The princes reached Rishyamook mountain near Pampa river

in the search of Sugreeva. When the vaanaras saw the two princes with
bow and arrow coming, they were suspicious at first. Hanuman, the chief
minister of Sugreeva, assumed the guise of a brahmin and approached
Rama to know his identity and mission. Rama told about their identity
and also about Sita and her abduction by Raavana. When Hanumana
came to know that he was lord Rama, he left the disguise and bowed his
head to the lord’s feet, for which he was waiting since a long time. Rama
lifted him up and warmly embraced him.

Hanuman took Rama-Lakshmana to Sugreeva and told all about the missing Sita.
Sugreeva was the king of Kishkindha. His elder brother Baali had forcibly taken
his wife and banished him from his kingdom by wrongly assuming that Sugreeva
had deceived him when he went inside a cave to take the challenge of Maayaavi
one of the sons of the danava king Maya. Rama assured him and promised to kill
Baali. Sugreeva had seen Sita weeping and crying for help when she was being
taken away by Ravana in the air. Sita had dropped some of her belongings which
Sugreeva handed over to Rama. The two kings lit a fire and took an oath as the
bondage of their friendship.

Rama had promised to help Sugreeva to get back his wife and kingdom
and kill Baali. They chalked out a plan and accordingly Sugreeva
challenged his mighty brother Baali for a duel. Since both the brothers
looked alike, Rama advised Sugreeva to wear a garland around his
neck for recognition. Sugreeva and Baali fought for a long time and at
last when Sugreeva was about to be defeated Rama shot an arrow
which pierced Baali's chest. When Baali saw Rama he fell down on his
feet and asked the reason of favouring Sugreeva and killing him. Rama
told that since he had kidnapped younger brother's wife he was subject
to be punished. Rama offered Baali life to live but he preferred death
instead and wished to go to lord's abode. While dieing he offered his son
Aangad as Rama's sevak to be and made his life successful. On the
instructions of Rama, Lakshmana crowned Sugreeva as the king of
Kishkindha and Aangad as yuvraaj.

Sugreeva was very happy with his kingdom and family & he started enjoying
them. So many days passed and he did not come back to Rama. So when Rama
sent Lakshmana and Hanuman to remind him of his duty, he felt very ashamed
and asked Rama to pardon him for his mistake. Sugreeva set out his vaanara
army to different directions in search of Sita. Some went to the north, some to
east and some to the west. Hanumana, Angad, Neel and Jamawant went south
to the Vindhyas. While leaving for search Hanuman touched Rama's feet and
asked for his blessings, Rama put his hands on Hanuman's head, blessed him to
complete the mission and gave his ring to give Sita as a symbol of recognition.
On the way Hanumana saw a cave which had a beautiful garden, temple and a
lake inside. A tapaswini lady was sitting inside the cave. She (Swaymprabha)
asked them to shut their eyes and go outside the cave. When they opened their
eyes they found themselves on the sea shore. Near the sea shore in the Vindhyas
they met Sampati, Jatayu's brother, who was able to see things far off. He told
them that Sita was in Lanka well guarded by raakshasis.

Lanka was a hundred yojna across the sea. The vaanaraas had to cross the sea
in order to find and rescue Sita. Though the vaanara chiefs were strong and
powerful yet they were not able to jump at such a long distance. Angada
showed his desire to go but was not sure about his capacity to return.
Jamawant said that though he had no doubts about his capability but since he is
their leader and also the prince of vanaras he can not be send. Jamawant knew
about powers and capabilities of Hanumana. Then Jamawant reminded
Hanuman of his super powerful qualities. Hanumana was the son of Anjana
and lord Pavan. He was so powerful that once when he was a very young child
he thought the rising sun to be a fruit and flew towards it to pluck it. He took
sun in his mouth and the whole of world came under darkness. On the request
of all the rishis and devas, Hanumana brought out sun from his mouth and
enlighted the world. Hanumana got prepared to go. He assumed his bigger
form which was like Sumeru mountain. He said, crossing to Lanka was a child's
game to him. He however, desired to know from Jamawant as to what should
he do on reaching Lanka. Jamawant advised him only to find out whereabouts
of Sita and her disposition and to inform it to Rama who will then taka back
Sita from Raavana by his own might. Vanaras will just be the witness to it.

Jamawant convinced Hanumana that only

he could cross the ocean so Hanumana gave a
mighty jump and reached at the top of Mainaak
mountain near the sea shore. By the jumps of
Hanumana the mountain went drowning in the
ocean. Then sea god told the mountain that let the
person on you take rest for a while. But Hanumana
touched Mainaak mountain by his hands and said I
have no rest and peace till lord Rama's work is done
and marched ahead. Hanumana took a mighty

On seeing Hanumana, Surasaa said that today the devas have send
you to me as my food so I will eat you. Hanumana pleaded that at
present he is on a mission of the lord Rama and hence he should be
allowed to go. He assured her that on completion of his mission he
will come back to her and will himself go into her mouth. Surasaa
however, did not agree for it and desired to eat him. Hanumana then
challanged her to eat him if she can.
Sursaa enlarged her mouth and tried to take Hanumana in her
mouth but Hanumana doubled himself from the size of her
mouth.She went on enlarging her mouth to 100 yojnas, likewise
Hanumana made himself bigger and bigger each time but finally by
making himself a fly in size, he entered in her mouth and came out
by nose. Then Hanumana bowed and said that now he has been
eaten by her and asked for her blessings to complete his mission.
Surasa was pleased at his wisdom and she blessed Hanumana for
coming back successfully after doing the mission entrusted by Rama.

After passing through many such trials of strength and wisdom Hanumana reached Lanka.
He entered there in the form of a fly and saw Lanka overcrowded by migthy Raakshasas.
Hanumana searched every house and Ravana's palace but could not find Sita anywhere.
Then he saw a beautiful Palace with a separate temple marked with Rama's arrows and
heard Vibhishana chanting, the name of his lord Rama. Hanumana disguised himself as a
brahmana and told Vibhishana all about himself and of lord Rama. Vibhishana was the
devotee of Rama, he told Hanumana to go to Ashoka Garden, where Raavana had kept Sita
capativated, guarded by numerous raakshasis. In exquisitely beautiful Ashoka Garden
Hanumana saw a devine lady sitting under a tree very quitely, sad and keeping her eyes
towards the earth. He hid himself on that tree. Meanwhile Raavana approached her with
numerous raakshasis and guards and asked to conjoin him to be his wife within a period of
time otherwise he will kill her. Sita replied him vehemently in hard words that his end was
near and he does not know the powers of Rama. After failing to persuade Sita, Raavana went
away saying that he will come back again after a month or so and if by then she did not agree
to his proposal he will surely kill her.

Hanumana could see Sita's plight but he did not know how to face her so he dropped the ring
given by Rama and uttered the sweet praises of lord. Sita was amazed and happy to hear lord's
name and see his ring but was suspicious of this being an evil device of Raavana. Then Hanumana
alighted before her and gave his introduction. Sita asked Hanumana to inform Rama about her
sorrow and take away her at the earliest as she could not tolerate the pain of separation from her
lord. Sita was happy but was in doubt about the might of vaanaras and their capability to defeat
raakshasas as Hanumana was present in his normal form. So Hanumana assumed his bigger form
like Sumeru mountain to convince Sita of his might. Seeing that Sita got convinced and Hanumana
again assumed his normal form. On being asked by Hanumana for giving him some sign of
meeting her, she gave her chooramani to be conveyed to Rama.

After taking blessings and permission of Sita to eat some fruits from the trees in Ashoka
Garden, Hanumana hought of doing something to frighten the raakshasas. He created
havoc by uprooting the huge trees, dismentlling the beautiful Ashoka Garden, killing many
raakshasas and Raavanas's son Akshay Kumar who was send by Raavana to kill
Hanumana, by revolving him in the air a thousand times and then throwing on the ground.
Finally he let himself captivated by Meghanada (Indrajeet) who took him tighed in ropes
through the streets to Raavana's court. In Raavana's court Hanumana praised for Rama
and asked Raavana to return Sita immediately and ask for lord's pardon otherwise he
would be destroyed with his full family. Raavana could not listion to Hanumana’s
explanation and preaching and decided to kill him. On Vibhishanas advice, however he
ordered to put clothes on his tail and lit fire on it. As the fire was put on his tail, Hanumana
enlarged the the tail and released himself from the bindings by becoming tiny shaped and
then enlarged his body to take huge jumps from one house to another. He put whole of
Lanka in flames. Thus by creating terror he went back to Sita, asked for her permission
and went to Rama and others who were eagerly waiting for his return.

Every one was delighted seeing Hanumana coming back.
Hanumana gave Rama the Chooramani given by Sita and told
about her plight and what had happened in Lanka. Rama felt very
obliged and took Hanumana in his arms. Rama then called
Sugreeva and asked him to get ready his army for Lanka march.
Under the star of triumph Uttaraphalguni, Rama, Lakshmana,
Sugreeva and the mighty innumerable vaanara army set forth
towards south to give Raavana a fierce battle and rescue Sita.

On getting the news of Rama's army approaching Lanka,
Raavana called a meeting with his council of ministers. Most of the
present courtiers were full of Raavana's praises except Vibhishana
(Ravana's brother) and Mandodari (Ravana's wife). They protested and
tried to reason out the situation and pointed out to Raavana that
forcefully abducting someone's wife was a big crime. Mandodari knew
Rama's power and asked Ravana not to go to the mouth of death himself
but return Sita with due respect and ask for Rama's pardon felling on his
feet. But Ravana's death was nearing so he did not pay any heed to the
words and instead he was angry at his criticism. Vibhishana realised that
he could not remain with Raavana so he renounced all his possessions
and went straight to Rama where he had camped. The vanaraas were at
first suspicious of him but on Rama's advice accepted him as their friend.
Rama addressed Vibhishana as ‘Lankapati’ and at the same time
crowned him as the king of Lanka.

Then Sugreeva, Lakshmana and Vibhishana

deliberated on how to cross the ocean. Vibhishana said
that though the arrows of Shri Rama can dry up the
entire ocean but he thought it best to start with the
prayer to the sea god who was the kulguru of the Raghu
clan of kings. Accordingly, Rama sat and prayed
continuously for three days requesting the sea god to
make a causeway across the ocean, but he received no
response to his prayers. Then Rama said that ocean is
unable to understand the polite way and he has to be
shown the might, as it appears that there can not be any
love without fear.

Then Rama glowing with anger shot arrows as irresistible as

thunderbolts into the bossom of the sea. The sea god could not resist
it and appeared before Rama with folded hands and with many
jewels and pearls and begged for his pardon. Sea god suggested to
make a causeway across him of stones touched by Nala and Neela
brothers who were blessed with making, stones unsinkable merely by
their touch. They can easily construct a causeway floating across the
sea. He also explained the details for building this causeway to Nala
and Neela. Sea god was very happy with the valour and courage of
Shri Rama so after touching his feet and praising him in many ways
he left for his abode.

Under the directions of Rama the vaanara army uprooted
mountains and forests, collected rocks and trees and with the help of
Nal & Neel managed to build a causeway within a very short period
of time. Rama then worshipped lord Shiva by establishing his statue
there and took his blessings. The Vaanara army crossed the ocean
over the causeway and reached Subel mountain. Hanumana carried
Rama on his shoulders and Angada carried Lakshmana on his back.
On reaching the Subel mountain the vaanara army and Rama
camped there. Rama ordered the vaanaras to eat fruits as they were
hungry.

On hearing the crossing of ocean by Rama and vaanara army Raavana felt very
much worried and carefully stationed his warriors on all the entrances of the city. Raavana's
wife again reminded him of Rama's power who had earlier snapped Shiva's bow, killed
Viradh, Kabandha and Khara-Dooshana and of his messenger's power who had killed
Akshaya kumar. She asked him to go to Rama, beg for pardon and end the enmity, but he
became rather angry hearing her good advice. Rama then sent Aangada to Raavana for asking
him to return Sita respectfully or face him for death. On entering Lanka Aangada killed
Raavana's son by revolving and then throwing him on the stone and created havoc in
raakshasas. Aangada then went to Raavanas court and delivered the message of Rama and
told about his power. He put his feet firmly on the ground and asked every one present to show
their strength and remove his leg from the ground. No one could even move his leg. Aangada
then grew up in size, rose high up and coming down kicked Raavana's four crowns to Rama
and broke off the towers of king's palaces. He then returned back.

After Aangada's coming back from Lanka, Rama called his

ministers and planned to attack the four forts of Lanka. The vaanara army
rushed towards the doomed city with boulders and trees as their weapons
and started a fierce battle with raakshasas. Lakshmana fought with
Meghnada (Indrajeet) Raavana's son, who became so furious that he
resorted to Maya. He hid himself behind the clouds and showered deadly
weapons from all sides. He shot the deadly shaktibaan on Lakshmana's
chest and Lakshmana fell unconscious on the field. Meghnada tried to lift
Lakshmana and take him away but he could not as he being incarnation of
Sheshananga was as heavy as earth. On being asked by lord Rama,
Hanumana brought Lakshmana lying unconscious back to the camp. Rama
was distrubed to see Lakshmana lying unconscious. Vibhishana told them
about vaidya Sushena in Lanka who can cure him. Therefore Jamawant
sent Hanumana to Lanka to bring Sushena vaidya. Hanumana brought him
along with his house. The vaidya advised to bring sanjeevani herb that grew
on a hill near Sumeru peaks to save Lakshmana’s life.

Accoudingly Hanumana went to the Sumeru peaks and as he

could not indentify the herb so the uprooted the whole of the hill and
started back for Lanka. On the way, there was Ayodhya where Bharata was
performing his duty on behalf of his brother Rama. When he saw some big
object flying in the sky he shot an arrow and Hanumana fell on the ground
chanting Rama’s name. Bharata knew immediately that he had done
wrong. He made Hanumana conscious and asked all about his brothers.
Briefing him the incident Hanumana rushed towards the spot where
everyone was waiting for him anxiously. With the help of the herb
Lakshmana’s wounds were healed up and he became strong once again.
Hanumana left vaidya Sushena back to Lanka at his abode and also the
Sumeru peaks to there respective place. Rama thanked Hanumana
profusely.

Raavana then sent his leading warriors and chief of armies to the battle
field. Hanumana killed Dhoomraksha, Angada killed Vaajradantra and
Neel killed Prahasta. Raavana then went to the battle and created
havoc among the vaanara army. Rama broke the crown and chariot of
Raavana when they met in the battle field. Dejected and ashamed,
Raavana decided, to wake up his brother Kumbhakarna.
Kumbhakarna was a great warrior but as a result of a curse he used to
sleep for months together and it was very difficult to wake him up. The
soldiers beat drums, blew trumpets and conches and made tremendous
noise, pinned his body with arrows and swords but he did not wake up.
Finally when thousands of horses and elephants were run over his body
he woke up and asked Raavana the cause of waking him up before time.
When Raavana told him the entire story including abduction of Sita
Kumbhakarna first got annoyed. But Raavana knowing well weakness
of Kumbhkarna, arranged for various types of liquor & meats for him.
After eating meats and drinking wines Kumbhakarna got intoxicated
and started straight for battle, with Rama without taking any army
with him.

There he ceated panic by destroying the vaanara army very fast.
Finally Rama shot powerful darts at him and cut off his arms, still he
went on fighting. Rama then cut off his head by an arrow but his huge
body ran towards Rama for fighting. Then Rama cut off his body in
two parts and killed him. Kumbhakarna's head fell before Raavana and
seeing this Raavana felt himself powerless and shattered.

Hearing Kumbhakana's death and Raavana's worry.

Meghnada went to Raavana and told him not to bother any more and
went to the battle field. By his Maya he went to the sky and started
showering arrows and darts and worried all the leading warriors
including Hanumana, Angada and Jamawant. Meghnada then started
fighting with Rama and Lakshmana and shot the deadly serpant darts
which captivated them and made them unable to move on the
battlefield. Jamawant on seeing Meghnada challenged him and
Meghnada struck him with a trident. Jamawant caught hold the trident
and struck Meghnada with it. Meghnada fell down un concious.
Jamawan caught him by legs & threw him to Lanka. Dev rishi Narada
send the king of birds ‘Garuda’ who came at once to rescue them. The
serpants left the princes being afraid of their arch enemy but Garuda
swallowed all the snakes around him.

When Meghnada regained his consciousness and saw his

father Raavana, he felt very ashamed and went to a mountain cave to
perform yajna. Vibhishana knew about it and told Rama to interrupt
Meghnada otherwise it will be very difficult to kill him. Lakshmana
went with vaanara army and interrupted Indrajeet in the middle of
yajna. A fierce battle ensued between the two great warriors and
Lakshmana killed him by ‘Indrashtra’ piercing in his chest.

On hearing the news of son Indrajeet's death Raavana fell unconscious on the ground. Finding no other way he went himself to the
battle field. The two supreme warriors Rama and Raavana met and each was trying to slay the other by using potent missiles of
secret power.
Lakshmana crushed Raavana's chariot and shot hundred arrows on Raavana's chest which made him unconscious and was
carried away to Lanka. When he regained his consciousness he headed for performing a yajna which would make him invincible.
Vibhishana informed Rama to interrupt the yajna and Rama sent vaanaras for interruption who came back after completing the
mission.
In the mean time, Sugreeva destroyed the raakshasas army and killed Virupaaksha and Mahodar. Aangada killed the mighty
Mahapasharva. One by one Rama cut off Raavana's heads but magically they were again restored, At last, Rama used the
brahmastra against Raavana which pierced his chest and shattered the shrine where the secret of his invincibility was lying.
Raavana fell down dead from his chariot and thus the great demon was killed. Vibhishana performed the last rites of his brother.
Later on Vibhishana was crowned ceremoniously as the King of Lanka.

Sita was full of joy at the victory of Rama and the demon Raavana being
killed. Rama sent Hanumana, Aangada and Vibhishana to Sita to bring her
back with full honour. To show the world, Rama uttered a few harsh words
for Sita and asked her to go through fire to purify her. Rama actually wanted
to get back the original form of Sita because what Raavana had kidnapped
was only the shadow Sita. Real Sita was staying with Agnideva as per Rama’s
advice when he went after the golden stag. Lakshmana with a heavy heart
arranged fire because he did not know the fact. Sita came through fire in
original form and Agnideva himself handed her over to Rama, as the
Kshirasagara had handed over Lakshmi to the lord Vishnu. Sita sat on the left
side of Rama and it appeared as if with a newly blossomed blue lotus, a golden
bud of lotus has been placed decorated.

 THE PICTORIAL
RAMAYANA
lfp=
jkek;.k

Ramayana is the greatest Epic ever made in the World which

depicts beautifully the devotion of a king, a son, a brother, a
wife and the duties of a man in this world. Lord Vishnu
incarnated himself as a man to show the world the path of
ultimate, success and peace in life. The most respected
Grantha of a Hindu family was first written by Rishi Valmiki
in Sanskrit but Goswami Tulsidas gave this great epic the
true form by writing Ramcharitmanas and made it the
favourite of everybody whether he be rich or poor, educated
or non-educated, man or woman, young or old.
